Dealer Discount

jetter - thanks. I know the replacement tweeters the dealer installed were G2SE's - got them from Proac. Not sure if the G2SI's are the same...

Forgot to mention, I called Millersound and they did not offer repair on the tweeters... 
Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged
jetter - never was able to get a definitive answer as to what caused the tweeters to go. That said, I did have them replaced by the dealer, although at significant expense for both the tweeters and labor. Although I understand that the two tweeter...

Thanks all. I welcome everyone's input.. 
Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged
Jetter - thanks. You're right - not much help in ascertaining the cause. And although I understand their position that the speakers are not exhibiting a certain "defect in workmanship or materials", I think they still could have stepped up and ass...
